Product Range Limitations
Info
The product range limitations acts like a black-list - hiding certain products from all customers or selected customers or customer groups.
You can hide products, categories of products or entire manufacturer’s by selecting them from the drop down selection box. You may wish to only hide products for a limited time, or only when customers are not logged in.
If you want to hide more products than you want to show, use the 'Product range' instead.
